Active Dual Functioning Electrolyte Boosts Capacity and Extends Life of Batteries
Scientists and engineers have been trying to improve the capacity and extend the life-span of conventional batteries ever since their initial creation. We often...
New Special Nozzle Makes Methane Hydrates Easier to Obtain
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy found out a way to chemically enclose methane in cage-like ice crystals. This technology is much safer than current liquefied natural gas (LNG), which is transported at very low temperatures and high pressures.
New Nano-Materials Mix Boosts Li-Ion Battery Capacity
Carbon nanotubes have been in the focus of many scientists and universities studying battery technologies recently. Now, a group of Rice University researchers found out the novel properties of carbon nanotubes surrounded by metal-oxide arrays for use in lithium ion batteries.
Self-storing Solar Power Possible with Graphene, says Sunvault Energy
Graphene, in concept, has been around since the latter half of the 1800s, but it wasn’t until just over a decade ago that scientists...
